http-proxy-syscalls

This project showcases an HTTP proxy built using Go's syscall package.

There are 2 actors involved besides client: proxy + server. Requests made to proxy are forwarded to server.

The proxy replies to the client with the response gor from server hello world!.

The proxy runs on localhost:8000. Server runs on localhost:9000.

Testing

Make sure you're running both proxy and server. Doing a curl locahost:8000 should give us the response from locahost:9000.

➜  ~ curl localhost:9000
hello world!

Why don't you use net.http?

The net/http package is ignored on purpose, so I can learn more about network programming using internet sockets via raw system calls.
